PORUKA DOZIVOTNOG
POCASNOG PREDSJEDNIKA
PRIGODOM ODRZAVANJA 20-0g
HRVATSKOG NOGOMETNOG
TURNIRA U WOLLONGONG 1994

Zelio bih se vratiti unatrag 20 godina kada sam osnivao Hrvatski Nogometni Savez
Australije.Nisam si tada mogao zamisliti da cu biti 15 godina predsjednik istoga, te sada vec 5
godina pocasni predsjednik Saveza.

Svrha ovog saveza bila jest i danas je prikupljati hrvatske
nogometne klubove i hrvatsku mladez diljem Australije. To je u
ono doba bilo neizmjemo vazno za nas hrvatski narod, i za nas u
Australiji, jer nismo imali svoje hrvatske drzave, a niti smo u ono
doba imali dvije CROACIJE u nacionalnoj ligi. Kasnije, jedna
Croacia u Melbourne druga Croacia u SYDNEY pronosile su nase
slavno hrvatsko ime diljem ovog kontinenta i jos dalje, i tako su
postale tm u oku _naseg neprijatelja, drzave, cije ime ne zelim
spomenuti, a koja drzava je unistavala svaki napredak hrvatskog
naroda, i vrsila progon i nad nama u Australiji.

Bas zato zelim napomenuti i naglasiti svojevremeno odrzani turnir

u gradu Perthu (1977.) gdje smo namjerno organizirali turnir uzprkos devet jugoslavenskih
klubova. Ovaj turnir u Perthu bio je vazan za nasu Croaciju North Perth a danas se zna da su svi
ovi klubovi u Perthu presli u hrvatske ruke.

Domacinu turnira, Croatia Wollongong, i svim hrvatskim nogometnim klubovima na 20-tom
Hrvatskom nogometnom turniru, te klubovima koji ne mogu ucestovati, svima Hrvaticama i
Hrvatima, te nasim ljepoticama, napose MISS CROATIA AUSTRALIJA Stephanie Garma,
cestitam ovo veliko slavlje u Wollongongu N.S.W.

ZAKLJUCIO BI MOJU PORUKU S POZDRAVNIM RIJECIMA;
NEKA NAM BUDE HRVATSKA U SRCU A SRCE U HRVATSKOJ !

mnogo vazniji cilj, zadrzati svoj Hrvatski Narod u jednoj cijelini,

proglasenje suvremene i Nezavisne Hrvatske Drzave koju fala bogu imamo.
Hrvatski Nogometni Savez Australije sa takvim ciljom i zadacom sto viseg zblizavanja i

godisnjicu postojanja i didovenia. HNS. Australije ove godine na turniru u Wollongongu.

Toje bilo moguce ostvariti samo uz cvrstu i veliku podrsku svi Hrvatski Nogometni Klubova
iz cijele Australije, svih Hrvata i Hrvatica sirom Australije, koji su se pokazali kao vjerni
rodoljubi Croatie i Domovine Hrvatske.

20 godina punu podrsku H.N.S. Australije i nadam se da cete to ciniti i u buducnosti, jer kako
kaze stara poslovica "Samo slozni su jaki ". Jako danas imamo svoju cjelog svijeta priznatu
Drzavu Hrvatsku nesmijemo zaboraviti i dalje raditi sa istim zarom na promidzbi svoga Hrvatskog
imena,Sporta i Hrvatske kulture, kao dostojan i kulturan narod svojedugo ocekivane NEZA VISNE
DRZAVE HRVATSKE.

Dragi Hrvati i Hrvatice zelim da iskoristim ovu priliku, te da cestitam i da se zahvalim Gosp.

CROATIA WOLLONGONG

TOURNAMENT HOST
Croatia Wollongong now known as South Coast United was first established in 1984 and
commenced playing in the Illawarra Soccer Association. Known then as South Coast Croatia S.C.
success was achieved relatively quickly. In 1986 the club moved its home ground, to its present
location at Sir Jan McLennan Park. The venue, origionally an open paddock, has been
transformed into one of the districts leading sporting fields, with a grandstand, seating 1000
people and floodlighting for night play. .

The club has always been ragarded as very progressive on and off the feild. Players to have
turned out for the club, include former N.S.W. Rothmans Medalist Niel WILLIAMS, N.S.L.
stalwart David Skeen and current N.S.L. player Claude Cellini, with former Croatian Great ANTE
ZANETIC coaching the club in its initial years.

This year the club will achieve another milestone in its short history, when it plays host to a large
compliment of interstate teams competing in the 20th Croatian National Soccer Tournament.

In this gathering of Croatian backed teams, spactators will be watching for the first time,
preliminary round night games and Womens Teams here in Wollongong. The entire weekend of
October 7-8-9- 1994 will certainly be an exiting one, not only for the members and supporters
of South Coast United Soccer Club, but hopefully for the many visitors coming to the Illawarra
Region.

From the people of Illawarra, We extend to you, the best of wishes and hope that it will be THE
Tournament to remember.

Lunceston Croatia koja se nalazi na sjevernom djelu Tasmanije sa jako malo Hrvata, jos uvijek
se bori da drzi nase stare tradicije. I ovaj puta dolazi da bude medu nasim dragim Hrvatima iz
citave Australije. Godina 1994 nije bila najbolja za nas klub . Izgubili smo dosta clanova i igraca
radi prosle godine kada nam je nestao novac iz kluba. Za cestitati je igracima koji su ostali i
drzali nase boje, mnogi su od njih morali igrati po dvije utakmice u istom danu.Klub je zavrsio
na sredini tablice u prvoj tasmanskoj ligi. Vise srece iduce godine.
U ime kluba zazelio bi svima klubovima sve najbolje na Hrvatskom Turniru u Wollongongu.

H.N.K. HAJDUK SYDNEY
Hrvatski Nogometni Klub Hajduk Sydney je osnovan prije 26 godina. Klub je dugo godina bio
clan Southern Districts Ass. i zabiljezio neke male uspjehe.
Klub je napokon 1991 ozivio u pravom smislu i postaje clan trece lige N.S. W. Soccer federation.
Uslijedile su dvije dobre godine da bi napokon 93 sezone postao prvak trece lige i pobjednik
Grand Finala.Tako je H.N.K. Hajduk stekao pravo takmicenja u drugoj ligi N.S.W. Upravo
zavrsena sezona ipak je bila dobra za Hajduka i klub je zavrsio u samoj sredini.
Isto tako zelimo dati do znanja Hrvatskoj javnosti Australije da u klubu od ove godine djeluje
podmladak koji je u svojoj prvoj sezoni zabiljezio veliki uspjeh i ukupno osvojio prvenstvo druge
lige a stime i ulazak u prvu ligu.

CROATIA BRISBANE

The Soccer Club was originally formed in 1969 by Ivan and Josip Mesic with the

assistance of Stjepan Blazenovic and Ivan Matic and played under the name "New

Farm".

During the next six years, the Croatian boys at Brisbane progressed with ease through

the divisions.

In 1974, the name of the Club was changed to Sunnyside United in order to qualify for

a field from the Government.

The Club stayed at the First Division until forcibly ejected to Second Division by the

Queensland Soccer Federation.

In 1978, the Club purchased 53 acres of land at 164 Dunn Road, Rocklea, Queensland

and in 1985 the Soccer Club invited all Croatian societies and organisations to unite in

one place to enjoy culture and sport. The location was renamed the Croatian

Community Centre and in 1986 work commenced on the construction of the new

Croatian Clubhouse, one of the largest in the State.

In 1987, after much insistance and QSF procrastination, the soccer team was finally

named "Brisbane Croatia" and in 1991 was promoted to the premier division in

Queensland, the XXXX League. However, apparently the QSF found the word

"Croatia" thoroughly objectionable and so forced the subsequent name changes on the

Club to Brisbane CSC and, finally, Rocklea United Soccer Club, the Club's current

name.

In terms of the future of the Club, the Club in the current year has endeavoured to

develop the talent of its youth with an intensive youth program similar to the extremely

successful program implemented by Sydney Croatia Soccer Club in the National Soccer

e.

Further, the Club has now undertaken a facilities development program which has begun

this year with an upgrading of the soccer field lighting to state-of-the-art technology.

In the coming years, the Club intends to develop the grounds with the:-

1. creation of two new soccer fields bringing the total fields to three;

2. construction of two junior soccer fields to further develop youth talent;

3. creation of a physical fitness and ball-skills training area for the purpose of soccer
improvements;

4. construction of a combined basketball, volley-ball and tennis playing area;

5. completion of a grandstand for the main field;

6. construction of a comprehensive bocce-playing area;

Finally, the ground floor portion of the Clubhouse will be completed, completing the

entire Croatian Community Centre development project.

It should be noted that the Croatian Community Centre will then have the best facilities

for the soccer in Queensland and will satisfy the National Soccer League club

requirements.

CROATIA GLENORCHY

Apart from soccer my other interests include netball
swimming and ‘hanging out’ at the beach. I have been
a member and supporter of the Croatia Glenorchy Soccer Club for many years, which is why I
decided to enter the Miss Croatia competition.

CROATIA NORTH GEELONG

Croatia North Geelong osnovana je 1967 godine uglavnom radi potrepstine brojne i relativno
mlade tadasnje Hrvatske emigracije u gradu Geelong, a ujedno radi promicanja Hrvatskog Imena,
te ukljucenja u borbu za oslobadanje domovine.

Rad Croatie Geelong, bio je kroz svoju kratku povijest konstantno ometan od strane Jugo
propagande i spijunske masinerije, koja je cak uspjela, da 1973g incinira izbacenje Croatie iz
lokalnog takmicenja.

No bas taj kobni dogadaj, jos vise je potspjesio zelju Hrvata Geelonga, da podignu Croatiu do
samoga vrha Victorijskog nogometa i tako na taj nacin omalovaze rad Jugo-rabote, koja se cak
uspjela uvuci u vrh uprave Victorijskog nogometa. Vrlo smo zadovoljni, jer se osjecamo, da je
sve do danas, nas rad imao ploda na sportskom, kultumnom i politickom djelovanju.

Od svoga osnutka pa do danas, Croatia Geelong je prosla kroz devet nogometnih divizija,
osvajajuci prvenstva, a ipak najveci uspjeh dozivljen je god. 1992, kad je Croatia Geelong po prvi
puta u drzavnoj Premier ligi Victorije, osvojila mini prvenstvo i kup u razigravanju prve petorke,
porazivsi u finalima poznatog Juvetusa iz Melbourne-a cak sa 4-1 i time postala sluzbeni prvak
premier lige Victorije, a ujedno je postavila rekord u Victorijskom nogometu.

Uz seniore do danas, vrio veliki uspjeh postizali su i juniori Croatie Geelong. Uz mnogobrojne
trofeje, iznikli su i mnogi talenti poput imena; Steve Horvat, Andrian i David Cervinski, Josip
Skoko, mladi MijoTrupkovic, a neki tek sada dolaze na seniorsku scenu. Od mnogih nogometnih
strucnjaka Australije, Croatia Geelong, nazvana je odgajaliste mladih nogometnih talenata, na
ovom dijelu Australije.

Materijalna strana Croatie Geelong, uz napredak u sporskom djelovanju, morala je takodjer
slijediti trent, vise radi same potrebe sportasa. Kupljeno je zemljiste, sagradene su moderne
klubske prostorije, sve sa dobrovoljnim radom, tako da je danas Croatia Geelong, neovisna o bilo
kome, materijalno jedna medju naj-jacim nogometnim klubovima u Australiji.

Za gore navedeni uspjeh, kao sto je to poznato u ovom dijelu svijeta, vezani su uz vecinu
clanova, takodjer istaknuti pojedinci, koji nisu stedjeli truda i novaca, da klub pridonesu danasnji
ugled i reputaciju. Imena necemo isticati, jer su ona ionako jako dobro poznata, ako ne drugdje,
a onda makar medu sirom Hrvatskom Zajednicom Australije.

Proglasenjem suvereniteta Republike Hrvatske, glavni zadatak Croatie Geelong je izvrsen, a
ostatak zadatka jeste, kao sto vjerujemo i svih ostalih Hrvatskih Klubova u ovome dijelu svijeta,
sirenje Hrvatske Kulture i Hrvatskog imena, te sve to skupa integrirati sa Domovinom Hrvatskom.

CROATIA SYDNEY
Croatia Sydney is very proud to take part in the 20th Croatian Tournament held this year in Wollongong.
It is very important and extremley satisfying to see that the annual Croatian Tournament continues to be well
supported by the Croatian clubs throughout Australia.
It's marvellous to see that after 20 years and many changes in our homeland Croatia, this prestigious three
day event is still going strong. Equally encouraging to see is the participation of the Melbourne Croatia and os
Sydney Croatia in this years tournament for both of us have commitments with the N.S.L. at the same time
yet have recongnized the importance to be here.
To the organizers of this years tournament Croatia Wollongong we wish all the successs and trust it will be
one of the best run so far. To all participating clubs, Good Luck and may you have a great time. t

CROATIA MELBOURNE "KNIGHTS"
When you talk about the red, white and blue of soccer in Melbourne, you are talking about one club
rich in tradition and achievement - The Melbourne Knights.
The Melbourne Knights. A name people have been uttering frequently this past CCSL season with the
club once again topping the table. But to diehard supporters, the name Knights is just a pseudonym.
For in their hearts, Croatia is their one and beloved club, and in the past 40 years since the club's
formation, the club has been one of the most successful in Australian Soccer history. Formed in 1953
by Croatian migrants living in Melbourne and Geelong, the club began playing in the Provisional
league of Victoria, where in their inaugural season they finished a creditable second. The club gained
promotion to the First Division, promptly taking out the 1959 championship after an extraordinary set
of circumstances. Needing at least a 3-0 victory over bottom club Brunswick, the Croatia players went
on a rampage, knocking in an incredible 29 goals. Croatia's 29-1 victory remains one of the highest
winning margins in Victorian, if not Australian domestic soccer. Croatia continued their trailblazing
run of success in Victorian state competition, clinching the First Division titles again in 1961 and 1964.
Four years later in 1968 which was a
golden year for the club, they became
Victorian State (Premier) league
champions, Ampol Cup and Dockerty
Cup winners.
The Croatia teams of the 1960's were
great ones, full of talented, quality
players such as Billy Vojtek, Celtic star
Duncan McKay, keeper Mirko Kovacek,
Horst Rau, Jimmy McKay, Hammy
McKeechan, Joe Keenan, Bill McIntyre
and now Morwell Falcons coach Bobby
McLachlan.
After winning the State League Cup and
Inter City Cup in 1971 and successive
Ampol Cup victories in 1971 and 1972,
the club had a dramatic downturn in
fortunes when they were expelled from
the Victorian Soccer Federation when
spectators invaded the pitch in a match
against Hakoah in protest against what
they saw as biased refereeing. With the
club in the footballing wilderness,
players of the calibre of McKay and
Vojtek went to pursue their careers
elsewhere, whilst the club reorganised
itself following the shock decision. The
club rebirthed in the mid 1970's under
the guise of Essondon Lions (later to be
known as Essendon croatia), and

became one of the dominant forces in CCSL "Coach of The Year," Mirko Bazic

Victorian soccer, winning the Victorian
State Championship in 1978 and 1979.
During this period the club had its playing ranks such great names as Eddie Krncevic, Branko Culina,

20th Croatian Soccer Tournament Page 25

Ken Murphy, John Gardiner, Alan Kerr, Tommy Cumming, Yakka Banovic and two relative
newcomers who would later become club stalwarts - George Hannah and the evergreen Joe Biskic.
By 1983 the club had achieved everything possible in Victorian soccer, and was looking to take that
further step forward into the National League. In 1984, it was admitted as a member of the NSL, and
in its first season finished in third spot before being eliminated in the finals series. In 1985 Croatia
finished fourth in the southern conference of the NSL before once again being eliminated in the finals.
The next four years proved to be lean ones, with the club performing inconsistently on the field, but
making great strides off it. In 1985 it purchased its own patch of turf in the western suburbs of
Melbourne, and hence it began construction of the Melbourne Croatian Sports Centre. Today, the
centre is testament to the hard work and many thankless hours put in by members of the Croatian
community in the construction of the centre. At present, the centre has grandstand seating (with more
to come), a VIP press area, fully equipped and licensed social club, excellent change rooms for both
the home and visiting teams, and in the months to follow the club is planning to upgrade playing and
viewing facilities with the installation of floodlights and an all purpose electronic scoreboard.

With the success of the centre, the club started to produce the form on the field. Croatia finished fourth
in 1989, third in 1989/90 and in seasons 1990/91, 1991/92, 1993/94 were the minor premiers only to
suffer the heartbreak of losing successive grand finals on penalty kicks to South Melbourne and
Adelaide City before losing to City this year.

In the process, the club has unveiled some of the richest soccer talent on display, players with the
potential to match some of the great players to represent Australia. Fausto De Amicis, Steve Horvat,
Andrew Marth, the Cervinski brothers, Vinko Buljbasic, Damian Vojtek (the son of Croatia great Billy
Vojtek), Ollie Pondeljak, and of course, Mark Viduka. Talent that is producing the goods, given the
relative inexperience. Coupled with 'veterans' Biskic, Zoran Trajcevski and Vlado Vanis, there are
some pundits who are suggesting that this team is the beginning of a greater Knight/Croatia soccer
dynasty. In other words, this team could ignite the first of many NSL championship winning Croatia
teams.

Whatever happens, there is no doubting the rich tradition of the Knights soccer club in Melbourne.
success breeds success. And at the moment the Knights is all success, both on and off the field.

UGODNO SJECANJE
Dobro kaj je sad;.., da vidimo “its i kak stojimo ?

U razmaku od proslog i sadasnjeg Hrvatskog turnira nasa
Zajednica u Wollongong-u je umanjena za jednog vrijednog
clana. Mnogi ce se pitati narocito oni koji su pratili Turnire,
pa ovdje nedostaje jedan covjek koji je protekle Turnir
obavezno posjecivao. Za pokojnog Vidu Grasa to je bio
redoviti godisnji odmor koji je on proveo klubom na
Turnirima. Sjecam se prosle godine kada mi je pricao Jure
Skender da ga je Vid pitao, moze li on poci u Melbourne na
turnir? Jure mu je odgovorio " bez brige " kada do sada nisi
ni jedan promasio neces ni ovaj. To je bila skromna ali
"Hvala" vrijedna neopisana usluga covjeku koji je svesrdno

pomagao i radio za nas klub.Bio je nizostavan na utakmicama ko kojucer duznoscu na
ulazu vrijedno je pratio nase navijace i goste da bi uredno pratili nogomet, i na
gostojucim utakmicama je bio s nama. Njegova prisutnost je davala puno potstreka
ljudima koji su strpljivo radili za unapredenje te nase sportske stvari u Australiji, a oni
koji su zajedno s njim radili, uzivali su cuti njegove rijeci o brizi i skrbi gdje ce se i
kako novci kluba potrositi. Doimalo me je ono njegovo "KAJ" ta nasa Hrvatska upitnica
koja simbolizira nas sviju i Vida pogotovo. Dobro kaj je sada, da vidimo racune i kak
‘stojimo! To su Vidove priupitnice na svakom sastanku.

~ Lijepo je i dirljivo kada osjetimo da nam 30 godina, nekojima i vise u diaspori - zivot
predstavlja gubitak svega onoga sto smo lijepo iz stare Domovine volili a tako brzo
zaboravili.

Pricao mi je Vid puno o njegovu posjetu Domovini. Volio je vidjeti mjesto i okolicu
gdje se rodio. Mislim da mi je rekao nesto o tome smislu. Tko voli svoju Domovinu,
postuje i Domovinu drugih.
